5:46 pm
south. midnight and even in the early morning hours, some snow showers. we could see one more. it's tough to see, the very light band could come through with a frontal boundary. that will be good in the sense that this will clear the skies on wednesday. the second band, like a dusting, that will be the last of our weather systems for awhile. we'll look for clearing conditions on wednesday and thursday. again, all eyes right now on the clipper system reminiscent of the two to three, generate the coating to a half an inch. it's just enough when that road temp is below freezing, just enough to make things hazardous first thing in the morning. snow arriving, coating to an inch possible. higher totals west of baltimore. here we go parade weather, a slick start. just drive with that. after that we're looking above freezing. tomorrow night a chance for a few brief snow showers.
